vitamin C load-up

October 4th, 2006 at 12:51 pm

SO and I are both coming down with something cold/flu related. Not sure which yet. Last night I picked up some Airborne (pricey, but it tastes good, and hopefully it helps), vitamin C drops, oranges, and vitamin C caplets. I really want to feel better before our camping trip this weekend.

A friend of mine is trying the new Fat Smash diet. It sounds reasonable enough - lots of beans, fruits, vegetables, and water for the detox phase. I think we might try it next week. Trader Joe's is so fun - I'm thrilled that we finally got one here. I picked up lots of beans and frozen veggies. It would just be nice if my pants were a little more comfortable, so we'll see if this helps.

I bought a few holiday gifts at Half Price Books, too. I love that store - it really stretches the holiday budget. I've got some great ideas for everyone, and now is the time to start putting it all together!

Thanks for the link, Lux. Luckily, the person who posted about only being able to eat fruits and veggies was wrong. The detox phase includes fruits, veggies, egg whites, beans, oatmeal, yogurt, water, milk, and tea. No problem since I'm vegetarian anyway. I think the hardest part for me will be giving up bread, chocolate, and cheese, but it would be good for me to pull away from that stuff a little.
